Don't know about SmoothWall, but the best Firewall around (including paid ones), is ZoneAlarm. There is a Free Edition as well as a paid version, but the free one should be fine for most people.

Hope this helps.

The question of firewalls is all about configuration.

I don't know smoothwall but I'm sure it has an allow and dis-allow screen. You have to tell the software what can and can't come in.

Zone Alarm is very good as it gives a clear picture of what is and what is not allowed.

This software gets my vote but as other users will tell you, the software is not water tight. Even the best firewalls can be beaten if the hacker has the skills and patience.

I hope this helps.
